Roosters Wings, the chicken restaurant that touts itself as “a fun, casual joint,” is set to come to Gahanna.

The restaurant chain has 14 Columbus-area locations, and the new Gahanna location will make that 15. Roosters has 43 total locations, including Roosters' mobile concessions and catering division.

The company boasts a strong rate of employee retention, with 86 employees who have been with the company for at least 20 years, according to Nicole Cox, vice president of marketing at Roosters Wings.

“We are in the very preliminary stages, but we have officially signed the lease of the former O'Charley's at 4850 Morse Road,” said Cox.

“We are hoping to open sometime during the winter season and are very excited to soon be a part of the Gahanna community.”

Roosters serves chicken, celery and assorted sauces, along with many other "fun, casual" items on their menu.
